<p>120mm 34s are not longer than 130mm 32s though. That's why I can see a manufacturer putting a maximum axle to crown length on but not a stanchion diameter size. Crazy.....

<p>Interesting, please post on here when you've taken delivery and built it up. Always had a longing for a nicolai. Will now toddle off over to mtbr to dig out the details.

<p>The regular TB is only warranted for 130mm forks. </p>
<p>Plus Nicolai are the only company I've ever seen that stipulates you can only use 32mm forks. A travel reduced 34 or 36 is a no-no. Very very odd??

Fri, 28 Jun 2013 13:25:27 +0000Chainline5112152@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/<p>I is said brave soul! There are two 29er frames Built. Dipper from Gavity sports is having one too. i think Whafe is ready to order one. Nicolai have built one for themselves for evaluation too and the principal behind them agreeing to develop mine was that it may go to production. Should be picking it up in 2 weeks from Nicolai.</p>
<p>That's lovely George, looks very right. Wish I could use BOS on the 29 but alas not..</p>
<p>The Ion doesn't necessarily have a 'better' linkage curve, just different. It is more DH biased in the suspension response, it won't be as forgiving of a poorer air shock as the Helius design and whilst providing more anti squat for initial pedalling it correspondingly has more kickback so as with everything...compromise and what you want. </p>
<p>I is the first Nicolai to combine all the current 'standards' in one frame that isn't custom.

Fri, 28 Jun 2013 11:05:49 +0000honourablegeorge5111556@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/<p>Aye, big thread on MTBR on a custom 29er one.</p>
<p>I think this one will take 650 too, plenty clearance. Just wait for one of my mates to buy a set of 650s and I'll bung them on for a look.

<p>Reverb stealth port is on there already. Not sure they'll do carbon unless they can figure out a way to make it with massive welds in raw silver.

<p>I'm the proud owner opf Mildred's old Helius ST and once I've got my new Boxxers fitted reckon it'll be the business.</p>
<p>I need to start saving ready for when my bike 2 works bike can be sold next Spring to replace it with a more XC biased Nicolai ;o)
